ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

The car runs AIRMATIC adaptive air suspension with intelligent damping control, the self-levelling air-spring system fitted as standard to the S 680, which controls spring rate and damping individually at each wheel and lowers ride height as road speed rises. Rear-axle steering is fitted, turning the rear wheels counter to the fronts at low speed to shorten the turning circle and with the fronts at higher speed for stability. Wheels are 21-inch Maybach forged multi-spoke items with the standing star centre cap, shod with noise-optimised tyres incorporating a foam absorber. Technical underbody protection is fitted, and the car carries TIREFIT rather than a spare wheel.
